# Pacific Gas & Electric Co. (PCG) fundamentals

Data as of 2026-09-08. NYSE, United States. Sector: Utilities / Electric Utilities. Price $14.30, market value $31.5 billion.

## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 10.3×** (5-yr avg 16.7×, 3-yr avg 15.9×). Pacific Gas & Electric Co. trades at 10.3× trailing earnings, well below its own five-year average of 16.7×: cheap by its own standards. The Utilities median in the September 2026 study was 21.2×. Forward P/E is 7.9×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **PEG: 3.04**. A PEG of 3.04 means the P/E is high relative to expected earnings growth; the price already assumes a lot.
- **Price / sales: 1.2×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 1.2×.
- **Price / book: 1.0×**. The shares trade below book value, which can signal a bargain or a balance sheet the market doubts.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: -13.5%** (5-yr avg -13.5%). Free cash flow is negative: the business is consuming cash, which is normal for heavy investment phases but a warning otherwise.
- **Earnings yield: 9.7%**. The inverse of the P/E: 9.7% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability

- **Net margin: 10.8%**. 10.8% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 8.3%**. 8.3% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.
- **Return on invested capital: 4.5%**. Return on all capital, debt included, is 4.5%: close to or below the cost of capital, so growth may not create value.
- **Return on assets: 2.2%**. Each dollar of assets produces 2.2% of profit.
